Sentencing
Interview with Girliegirl, Paul and Tyler
JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Girliegirl: 8 years
Paul: Had to do 10 days for my probation violation!!!
Tyler: 7 days
JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
Girliegirl: 23 girls in a holding cell that was supposed to
hold about 15. There were girls crying, yelling,
mad, quiet and mostly just staying by
themselves. The place stunk was cramped and
everyone was giving each other dirty looks.
There were two people that knew each other and
they were loud to all of us. I guess they felt
strong because they had each other. They were
asking everyone what they were in their for and
asked how long we got, what we did for a living
and other personal questions. They were yelling
at the other women to shut up when it was time to
go to sleep and all night long they sat up and
made fun of the other people that were in the
holding cell. There was real tension in there.
We were cold, hungry and most of us had to sleep
on the floor with hard rough wool blankets and
not enough pillows to go around. It smelled like
moth balls and lemon cleaning products. The
guards were sarcastic, rude and cold. As soon as
one person left they would bring 3 more people
back in. It was so crowded and uncomfortable.
Paul: yes for about 11 hours i was in there. It wasn't
as bad as I thought it would be. Then i got moved
to a trustee and the 9 1/2 days went by fast.
Tyler: Yes, I was in the 48th district court holding cell
for one hour. Small cell with five other guys.
Everyone got along. Then transferred to Oakland
County Jail and held in R9 (holding cell). R9 is
awful! Overcrowded, no beds, some guys had been
there for days. I spent 8 hours there before being
classified and sent to the East annex.

The only thing I have heard consistently about a DUI in Oakland County is to expect jail time.

yes oakland county was a crap hole.. i had to sleep on the floor with one wool blanket and a mat. their was roaches and mice. it was so dirty. there was 3 to 4 to every cell. people were loud and the officers were mixing blues grays and oranges together. the place was over crowded. they had a population problem and did nothing but let more people in. we had a sortage of food and toilet paper which is fucked up. most of the people got over sentenced and the guildlines were up-ed. it cost 60 bucks a day or so. thats messed up.. oakland county is really taking the tax payers for a round of their money....
